A shipment of Oregon timber was offered for asle at auction in Auckland recently, hut bids were few, and the comparatively small quantity sold brought a- price below a recent auction rtne, which was about 50s per l(X)ft.

One authority upon timber states that Oregon timber bought on tho Pacific coast at recent prices would return a very satisfactory profit if sold at 40s. Tho low price at which Oregon lias been landed in Australia. during recent months has practically stopped the exportation of New Zealand white pine to the Commonwealth. At present prices white pine cannot compete with Oregon in Australia. Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure. For Coughs and Colds, never fails.
